In my role as a Guardian ad litem I acted as a liaison between children, families and the court. In order to, protect the interests of minor children in the Department of Social Services (DSS) custody. This, was not an easy task because this required the removal of children (ages 0-17) from the home who have been abused or neglected. This, sometimes meant a child would be separated from his or her siblings and placed into foster care until a permanent placement was obtained rather it be a parent completing a case plan or a child gaining out of the system. As a Guardian ad litem I was required to treat everyone with dignity and respect and to established a positive rapport, between clients, family members and the community.…
According to the Erikson, generativity is something when adults care about their upcoming generation by accomplishing things that make world better place for them. However, stagnation when the adults deny that they have not done or accomplished any things for their upcoming generation. During the middle adulthood (approximately 30 to 60), “Most of the adults develop generativity in many ways through biological, parental, work, and cultural generativity” (book). I am not in middle adulthood yet but whenever I will it will be different.…
Have you ever wondered what life would be like if you had never experienced what love felt like? In the dystopian story, The Giver, by Lois Lowry, Jonas, the main character must run away from the community to find a better life, a safe place where love is expressed and told to one another.

In the community, there are strict rules you have to follow and f you do not follow the rules, you would get thrown out of the community. Therefore being a Receiver is a punishment.…
In this essay, I will argue that it is permissible to kill a villainous aggressor, an innocent aggressor, and an innocent threat, but not an innocent bystander. According to Judith Jarvis Thompson, it is morally permissible for person A to kill person B in self-defense if and only if (1) B will kill A unless A kills B, and (2) if B kills A, the B will violate A ’s right that B not kill A (Handout #16). The villainous aggressor is someone who is intentionally trying to kill you and who is morally responsible for trying (Handout #16).…

When I went to E.O.D (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) School for training while I was in the Army I was told I would fail. I didn’t know it then but I adopted a creator mindset to get myself through. I did succeed and I did graduate. Students were only allowed an hour and a half to study so I had to make the most of the time I was given.…
The Innocent Killer Ender Wiggin, a genocidal killer we somehow feel sympathy for, but is our sympathy justified? In an essay by John Kessel, titled “Creating the Innocent Killer”, Kessel discussed this matter and concludes that we should not feel sympathy for him as he is a murderer. He killed two people as well as the entire population of a foreign species, yet still labeled innocent. I agree with Kessel’s conclusion, because although he didn’t know he was committing genocide at the time he planned on doing so in the future, he was always unnecessarily violent but wasn’t punished for it, and his intentions don’t change his actions. To summarize Kessel…
Being savage is being clutch and fierce in the moment. If you are savage, you can take a moment and determine the outcome. You are the factor that can bring your team to victory, or drag them down to defeat. You don’t feel the pressure when it is a must win situation. A savage would do what would be necessary to win.…
Freedom is a word that lots of people desire. Freedom is not only meant physically free, it also points to the freedom of the soul. It seems like we are always restricted by something: unlimited homework, family, even children in the future. As the result, we should be more independent. I cannot say that freedom has the necessary relationship with independent, but somehow, we can link them together.…
Minorities are often blamed for the vast array of problems any society faces. In today’s America we can see it in the cries of “they are taking our jobs” or “they are overwhelming our social services.” When citizens of a country feel insecure, they search for a reason, and finding no easy answer, they look to a scapegoat.…
This article emphasizes the notions of the self and the factors that support its development of human potentials. In this article we learn about self-actualization. A self-actualizing individual is one that recognizes their human potential and seeks to become that. Self-actualization means that an individual has access to and is using all of their possible resources to their full capacity in order to grow. Individuals who have self actualization use these resources to connect and prosper into the best possible version of themselves.…
Victimology Life Style Exposure The life style that the three victims, Byers, Branch and Moore had would have put them in minimal amounts of situations where they would be exposed to victimisation. As eight year old children they would have had School Monday to Friday, where they would have been overseen by a number of adults and be in the company of numerous children. This means that most days of the week and most hours of the day the victims would have had low risk of exposure to criminal behaviour. There is also little evidence to suggest domestic violence in the homes of the victims, as however, there is only Byer’s fathers transcript in the Case Materials (1993)…
From a person-blame approach, the cause of mass incarceration would be that it is the individual’s fault as to why they are in prison. A solution to a person-blame approach would be for the individual who has been imprisoned to stop doing what it is that they have done to wind up incarcerated. Demetria would be an excellent example of a person-blame approach. Those who believe that person-blame approach would say that it was Demetria’s actions that landed Demetria in juvenile detention. Though this is true, the root of the problem can be connected to this individual’s family.…
Who am I? A question that would made you think well and might puzzle you out. Describing yourself is harder than describing someone because there are some areas in you that you are not certain of such as characteristics, personalities, and attitude. Also, there are things that other people would notice while we can’t because those things are the things we do that we are not conscious about. Talking about myself, I am Noreen Joyce F. Panganiban, a 16 year-old girl turning 17 this March 2016, from Carmona, Cavite.…
